GOSPEL NUGGET # 238

Settle Your Case Out Of Court 

You are a sinner. Someday you will have to face judgment. The Judge will be the Lord Jesus Christ and you will have to answer Him in the Great White Throne Judgment. 

You can be sure of the verdict---GUILTY. The future for you is dark, bleak and frightening. But you can settle your case out of that court. There is a way of putting your future judgment behind you. 

You see, when the Lord Jesus Christ died for you 2000 years ago, He died for all your sins against God. He took the punishment and the judgment that you justly deserve. He became your Substitute.

If you just accept Him as your Substitute, by trusting in what He did for you on the cross, then the whole thing will be settled. Judgment for you will be a thing of the past---God will view you as having been already judged in the person of your Substitute 2000 years ago. 

And you can face the future, not in fear of God's judgment but with hope and anticipation of glory. 

Settle your case out of court!
